Last night...

If Provorov played tonight you'd know they were trying to kill him 70+ in 3 nights is not human.

You don't want to see Sam Morin decapitate a group of Devils and bring about the downfall of Christianity tonight?

Saad and Jones were playing Monday night for Columbus. I couldn't believe why our guys can't play until Saturday at the earliest.

I wouldn't want any of our WC guys playing a Jersey C team in Allentown when there are still four preseason games left after tonight.

All this talk of great bands has got me thinking:

I was not raised on pop. I was raised on classic rock, and I didn't start finding my own music until the earl 90s. So I was never really into Prince. I just didn't know his music.

Of course, the day after he died, all of the tributes started coming out, and one thing people talked about was what an amazing guitarist he was, possibly one of the best in the world.

So, for the first 30+ years of my life, why did no one ever include him in their top xx guitarists of all time list? After knowing this, I would have liked to have seen him. Sure, I still don't think he has more than maybe 8-10 really good songs, but if he's that great, I think he should have been recognized more often in recent years. Or maybe people just went a bit too far in their praise the day after it happened.

Huh, I've always seen him mentioned, but I've always been a fan so was probably checking to make sure he wasn't unduly snubbed. lol

If tl;dw just skip to 3:25 when he comes out



I won't clog the board with others but if you're inclined, google his Superbowl halftime show and his American Woman with Lenny Kravitz.

So, you've finally heard the Revolution Calling? Welcome aboard. Just in time to enjoy their renaissance with a new singer who's not gone bonkers in the head.

lol, I guess so. Only listened once so far so don't have the songs committed to memory

Flyers put 1 game on radio Monday night and the other game on their site but the video player never worked for me -- on tabket, phone, or PC.

It's cool. I got into them in 1990-91 at college. Just before Empire released, a friend lent me Operation: Mindcrime. Been a fan since -- except for Q2k through Dedicated to Chaos. Skipped Frequency Unknown altogether since that's just Bonkers the singer.

lol...did some reading on them and yeah, kind of nutty that there are two of them now. My plan is to enjoy Empire and get Operation: Mindcrime (which I sampled on iTunes and is also really good). If I'm still interested I'll probably work backwards a little bit, before moving forward.

That's pretty damn good. I remember my mom watching that, seeing Tom Petty's face, exclaiming, "My God, Tom Petty looks like a pasty ghoul!" and leaving the room.

According to legend, once he became "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince," he made his wife refer to him by that name.

Also, he once reportedly asked Carson Daly to his house. He showed up, Prince called for a limo to pick them up at the front of the house. They get in, Prince plays some music for Carson Daly and asks him what he thought of it. They then get out of the limo, which hasn't moved an inch, and he wishes Carson Daly a good night and goes inside.

Oh he definitely didn't have all his marbles. But then again most people who excel at something are insane.

Seems like he always plans to come here, but then veers off in a totally different direction.

You should listen to Kevin Smith's take on shooting a Documentary for one of Prince's album releases. It's funny and completely crazy.
